​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​man and woman walk through woodsProtecting yourself​ from preventable diseases doesn't end as you grow older.

As you get older, your immune system tends to weaken, putting you at higher risk for certain diseases. There are several vaccines that can protect you from these serious and sometimes deadly diseases.  

Talk to your provider to make sure you are up-to-date on the recommended vaccines.​

COVID-19 – adults should receive a primary series and booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine, even if you already had COVID-19 infection.​​

Diphtheria,Tetanus, Whooping Cough (Pertussis) – you need at least one dose of Tdap (diphtheria​-tetanus-pertussis), then a Td (diphtheria-tetanus) or Tdap booster every 10 years.
